STUDY ABROAD WORKSHOP

CCIE and El Camino Community College are co-sponsoring a Study Abroad Workshop on May 1, 1998, from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.. A few years ago, CCIE hosted a similar workshop. Many contractors, study abroad directors and faculty attended. Specific issues were debated and new policies were formed that helped allow CCIE study abroad programs to grow significantly. We hope that this workshop will have similar results that will carry us into the next century. Some of the issues that will be explored include: 1) collaboration between colleges; 2) publicity sharing; 3) regional consortia; 4) state-laws; 5) state study abroad policies. Lunch will be provided by El Camino College. Registration is $ 15.00. Please R.S.V.P. to Rosalind Raby by April 15.

ALLIANCE UPDATES

The Alliance on International/ Intercultural Education Advisory Committee (AIIEAC) has been formed as a result of the FII Grant received by the LACCD.

In February, the following activities were conducted:

A) Dialogue on an Alliance mission;

B) Discussion on specific goals/ activities to be accomplished;

The next meeting will be held, March 31 at the Chancellor's Mega-Conference in Palm Springs.

DISTANCE EDUCATION REPORTS

In the Nov./Dec. 1997 issue of On the Horizon, Kenneth C. Green summarizes in "Money, Technology, and Distance Education (DE)" three new reports on distance education. Green acknowledges that DE is rapidly growing as a result of increased pressures from the learning revolution, and is influencing faculty curriculum & material development as well as program offerings and higher educational philosophy. He, however, maintains that DE will not bring substantial increased revenue to higher education. At present, too many educational institutions fail to view DE as a fully capitalized business and are unable to foresee consequences of Disney, Dreamworks and Microsoft entering into the market.

(1) The report, New Higher Education Trends Reflected in the Design of the Western Governors University by Sally M. Johnstone and Dennis Jones, shows a system in transition, including overall philosophy, classes and faculty reward structures. The latter will change as greater emphasis is placed on faculty curriculum design and materials developed.

(2) The report, California Higher Education Extends Its Reach by Dianne Vines, Barbara Thorpe and Robert Threlkeld, describes the California Virtual University's purpose, which is to prepare the California workforce, promote economic development and expand access while promoting the global export of California education and training.

(3) The Significance of Virtual Universities by Donald M. Norris notes that the virtual university will alter the way in which education is provided and as such will become a political pawn which lobbies for reallocating public resources.

SACRAMENTO CITY COLLEGE CONFERENCE

Sacramento City College, as part of their Title VI grant, hosted a conference, "Educational Perspectives in a Global Environment", February 19-21. Presentations focused on education abroad; cross-cultural issues; internationalization of educational curriculums; new technologies for international teaching/ research, multicultural issues; international environment concerns, international economic concerns, international studies and non-governmental organizations. Thomas J. Miller, U.S. Ambassador and Special Coordinator for Cyprus was the keynote speaker for the opening program and Professor Acacia Zeneida Kuenzer, Dean of the School of Education at the Federal University of Panama in Brazil was the keynote closing speaker.

GLOBAL EDUCATION FRAMEWORK DIALOGUE

The State Chancellor's Global Education Network Initiative is planning a session at the Chancellor's Mega-Conference, April 1 from 3:45 - 5:00 in the Oleander 3 room at the Riveria Resort, Palm Springs. "Join in a Dialogue on Shaping a Global Education Framework" is the first discussion session offered by the California Community College Global Education Network Initiative. This session is designed to engage new voices in discussing, exploring and identifying creative response to California's global future. Questions to be asked include: What is global education? What are the components? What is a globally competent student? Should community colleges prepare all students to be globally literate? What is the role of community colleges in response to California's global future? The session encourages participation that questions conventional wisdom and provides ideas for infusing a global dimension across the campus and community. Guest speakers include Dr. Jerry Moore, Professor of Music at College of the Redwoods, Dr. Daniel Orey, Professor of Ethno-Math at California State University, Sacramento and Dr. Rosalind Raby, Adjunct Professor, College of Education, at California State University, Northridge. For additional information contact Vicki Warner (916) 324-4612.

INTERNATIONAL CURRICULUM PROGRAMS

There are many programs around the country that are designed to assist community college faculty in internationalizing (showing international perspectives) in their curriculum. The growing number of faculty in these programs signifies the growing internationalization of our community college classes.

The following documents the number of faculty who attended special summer curriculum programs in 1997, aimed at helping faculty internationalize their curriculum:

COMMUNITY COLLEGE STRUCTURE PROGRAM IN THAILAND (Coordinated by Ventura CCD): Participating faculty from Cypress (1) and Rancho Santiago (1)

SPECIFIC INTERNATIONALIZED CURRICULUM

During the 1996-1997 academic year, several colleges added to their list of courses that have been internationalized. Internationalization means the infusion and/or introduction of international themes into existing or new classes. The 1996-1997 Internationalized Modules/Courses are:

Canada: internationalization" workshops as part of faculty "FLEX day.

Chaffey: Out-of-State or international field trips in geology. Infusion of Latin American themes in English classes.

San Diego CCD: African, Oceanic and native American Srt; Survey of Pre-Columbian Art; Introductions to Asian History, Humanities, Literature and Philosophy; Cultural Anthropology; Cultural and Travel Geography; Ethnic Studies (Asian Pacific; American Indian, American, Black, Chicano); History of the Americas; History of England and the Commonwealth; Intercultural Communication; International Contemporary Politics; Middle East Today; Spanish Civilization; World History; Masterpieces of World Literature; World Music; Philosophy of Women in World Cultures.

San Diego Miramar awarded an International Business Education Grant, 1994-1996 and developed a model international business curriculum with Saddleback CCD.

While it remains critical for individual classes across the curriculum to become internationalized, it is equally important for colleges to offer to their students basic courses that are international in orientation. The CCIE Annual Reports from the past six years indicate that the number of CCIE colleges that offer such courses is growing each year. The following itemizes the number of CCIE member colleges that offer such courses. This survey is based on 55 CCIE colleges who responded to this section of the survey.

COURSES

Non-European History: 49 colleges (90%)

Cultural Anthropology: 48 colleges (89%)

International Business: 45 colleges (82%)

Cultural Geography: 44 colleges (80%)

Non-Eur. Humanities: 44 colleges (80%)

Intercultural Communications: 40 colleges (73%)

International Relations: 35 colleges (64%)

Ethnic Studies: 27 colleges (50%)

Multicultural: 26 colleges (48%)

International Studies: 16 colleges (29%)

ANNUAL SURVEY

The CCIE Annual Survey was mailed to all CCIE college representatives. The survey is a bit longer this year and does require more time to complete. However, this valuable information will help build the:

a) CCIE Study Abroad Brochure; b) CCIE web-page; b) CCIE Annual Report; and d) Alliance net-work system. It is time well spent! In addition, CCIE is regularly asked for information on its members by national and international consortia.

The following colleges have yet to return their surveys: Cañada; Citrus; El Camino; Foothill/DeAnza; Glendale; Hartnell; Long Beach City; Los Rios CCD; Mt.
